SHE dwelt among the untrodden ways
Beside the springs of Dove,
A Maid whom there were none to praise
And very few to love:
A violet by a mossy stone
Half hidden from the eye!
-Fair as a star, when only one
Is shining in the sky.
She lived unknown, and few could know
When Lucy ceased to be;
But she is in her grave, and, oh,
The difference to me! (Wordsworth, “She Dwelt Among the Untrodden Ways”)
Which best summarizes the meaning of the poem's second stanza?
-She appreciated natural settings, and found beauty in living and non-living things.
-Although she was beautiful, she was also modest and did not draw attention to herself.
-She had trouble seeing clearly, and often lost her way as a result,
-Her yard was a treasure trove for natural beauty, both in the daylight and at night.
